The 'crontab -e' command allows updating the schedule while cron itself runs those commands. While this is technically supported by macOS, it has some significant deficiencies: 1. Every run of 'crontab -e' must request elevated privileges through the user interface. When running 'git maintenance start' from the Terminal app, it presents a dialog box saying "Terminal.app would like to administer your computer. Administration can include modifying passwords, networking, and system settings." This is more alarming than what we are hoping to achieve. If this alert had some information about how "git" is trying to run "crontab" then we would have some reason to believe that this dialog might be fine. However, it also doesn't help that some scenarios just leave Git waiting for a response without presenting anything to the user. I experienced this when executing the command from a Bash terminal view inside Visual Studio Code. 2. While cron initializes a user environment enough for "git config --global --show-origin" to show the correct config file information, it does not set up the environment enough for Git Credential Manager Core to load credentials during a 'prefetch' task. My prefetches against private repositories required re-authenticating through UI pop-ups in a way that should not be required. The solution is to switch from cron to the Apple-recommended [1] 'launchd' tool. [1] https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Chapters/ScheduledJobs.html The basics of this tool is that we need to create XML-formatted "plist" files inside "~/Library/LaunchAgents/" and then use the 'launchctl' tool to make launchd aware of them. The plist files include all of the scheduling information, along with the command-line arguments split across an array of tags. For example, here is my plist file for the weekly scheduled tasks: Labelorg.git-scm.git.weekly ProgramArguments /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git --exec-path=/usr/local/libexec/git-core for-each-repo --config=maintenance.repo maintenance run --schedule=weekly StartCalendarInterval Day0 Hour0 Minute0 The schedules for the daily and hourly tasks are more complicated since we need to use an array for the StartCalendarInterval with an entry for each of the six days other than the 0th day (to avoid colliding with the weekly task), and each of the 23 hours other than the 0th hour (to avoid colliding with the daily task). The "Label" value is currently filled with "org.git-scm.git.X" where X is the frequency. We need a different plist file for each frequency. The launchctl command needs to be aligned with a user id in order to initialize the command environment. This must be done using the 'launchctl bootstrap' subcommand. This subcommand is new as of macOS 10.11, which was released in September 2015. Before that release the 'launchctl load' subcommand was recommended. The best source of information on this transition I have seen is available at [2]. The current design does not preclude a future version that detects the available fatures of 'launchctl' to use the older commands. However, it is best to rely on the newest version since Apple might completely remove the deprecated version on short notice. [2] https://babodee.wordpress.com/2016/04/09/launchctl-2-0-syntax/ To remove a schedule, we must run 'launchctl bootout' with a valid plist file. We also need to 'bootout' a task before the 'bootstrap' subcommand will succeed, if such a task already exists. We can verify the commands that were run by 'git maintenance start' and 'git maintenance stop' by injecting a script that writes the command-line arguments into GIT_TEST_CRONTAB. An earlier version of this patch accidentally had an opening "" tag when it should have had a closing "" tag. This was caught during manual testing with actual 'launchctl' commands, but we do not want to update developers' tasks when running tests. It appears that macOS includes the "xmllint" tool which can verify the XML format, so call it from the macOS-specific tests to ensure the .plist files are well-formatted.
